With Spring right around the corner who isn’t anticipating the sounds of frogs on a summer night? I know this chick is! They are so whimsical and charming and when I spotted this cutie at my local Hobby Lobby I scooped him up. I know I wanted this Royale frog makeover to have whimsical checks so that is just what I did. https://www.hobbylobby.com/Spring-Shop/Decor-Pillows/Animals-Figurines/Carved-Frog-With-Flowers/p/81018146
the makeover
I originally was going to paint his entire body with checks but opted to only do his front belly! The lines of this piece were a perfect guide and I used those to layout the checks! Watch how I made him over here on my Facebook during a LIVE video! https://fb.watch/4e2fJho2mb/
Royale frog makeover complete…almost
I finished him off by painting the flowers gold with liquid gold leaf and then I added in some Swarovski crystals. I added a harlequin ribbon around his neck and then added a small jewel from Totally Dazzled! I was too impatient to wait for a crown so for now I made one with some sparkle trim and a jewel. I will be replacing that once my crown order comes in! But how cute did he turn out? Once the larger crown come in it will be more balanced and Royale!

Thank you for the email on the frog. You do such an amazing job. Hopefully I’ll get to learn to be half as good as you one day. I’m still fighting side effects from Covid since I had it in October. I’ll have to be going to a cardiologist next week and I’m hoping it won’t be anything serious. You another crafters have been an inspiration that’s kept me going through the winter days even if it’s small projects I make. My granddaughters will like and I give to them. My sisters come to visit and if they like something I’ll make a gift to them and it makes me happy to know that I’ll make someone happy. Thank you for being so kind. I’ve always been an active lady out going riding bicycle in the summertime going on vacations with my grandkids. But this year this virus really got to me and I can’t stand being helpless at times. That’s why I want to know when you’re on crafting so that I can watch your videos I hope to get your notifications from now on and your sales. I love the embellishments I order from Total Dazzle. Just received an order today and they are beautiful. Can hardly get started on a new project. Thank you Kathy. Have a blessed week! ????
